IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including
the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the motor part in water or other
liquid.
3. This appliance should not be used by children and care should be taken when used near
children.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to an authorized
service center for examination, electrical repair, mechanical repair or adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces (including the
stove).
10 When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at
a time to avoid splattering and burning.
11. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending with the shaft to prevent the
possibility of severe personal injury and/or damage to the unit. A rubber spatula may be
used but only when the unit is not running.
12. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
13. To avoid injury, never place the blade unit on the base without first putting the chopper
bowl properly in place.
14. Be certain chopper gear box is securely locked in place before operating chopper.
15. Do not attempt to defeat the chopper cover interlock mechanism.
16 Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while chopping food to reduce the
risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food chopper. A spatula may be used but
only when the food chopper is not running.
17 The «HC» chopper is intended for processing small quantities of food for immediate
consumption, and is especially recommended for preparing baby food. It is not intended
to prepare large quantities of food at one time.

Setting the speed
When activating the on/off switch , the
processing speed corresponds to the setting
of the variable speed regulator . The higher
the setting, the faster the chopping results.
However, maximum processing speed can
only be achieved by pressing the turbo
switch . You may also use the turbo switch
for instant powerful pulses without having to
adjust the variable speed regulator.
Depending on the application, we
recommend the following speed settings:
Handblender 1...turbo
Chopper 1...turbo
Whisk 2...4
How to operate your handblender
The handblender is perfectly suited for
preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise
and baby food as well as for mixing drinks
and milk shakes.
1. Insert the motor part into the blender
shaft until it locks into place.
2. Position the handblender deep in the
container being used to prepare your food
or drink, then press the on/off switch or
the on/off turbo switch to begin.
3. To release the blender shaft after use,
press the release knobs and pull it off.
You can operate the handblender in the
measuring beaker or in any other container.
When blending directly in the saucepan while
cooking, remove the pan from the burner
first to protect your handblender from over-
heating.
How to operate your whisk
Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beat-
ing egg whites and mixing instant puddings.
1. Insert the whisk into the whisk gear
box , then insert the motor part into
the gear box until it locks into place.
2. Place the whisk in a bowl before pressing
the on/off switch to turn on the whisk.
3. To release the wisk, press the release
knobs and pull off the gear box. Then
pull the whisk out of the gear box.
For best results:
• Use a wide container.
• Only whip up to 400 ml (14 oz) chilled
cream at one time.
• Only whip up to 4 egg whites at one time.
• Move the whisk clockwise when mixing
ingredients.
